Angry Israelis cross red line on hostage deaths
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is refusing to cave to the biggest demonstrations since the Gaza war began last October and agree to a ceasefire.
After six Israeli hostages were found shot dead in a Gaza tunnel at the weekend, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did something he hadn’t done in 11 months of war – he apologised to the bereaved families.
“I want to tell you how sorry I am and ask for forgiveness for not being able to bring Sasha back alive,” he told the parents of Alexander Lobanov in the first of a series of such phone calls.
